The Irish Apple-Tini is October 11th Drink of the Day!!

October 11, 2013 | By Shaun the Bartender | Add a Comment

I know I’m a little off-season with this, but hey, I’m Irish so St. Paddy’s day is everyday which makes this legit. Someone asked me for a nice and refreshing whiskey drink and this was the first thing that came to mind.

This is the whiskey version of the popular Apple-Tini made with vodka. This does have a little more kick. If you like the Washington Apple made with a Canadian Whiskey, you will love this drink because there really is no difference other than it being Irish whiskey and using White Cranberry Juice instead of the red variety. I usually go with one of these when I just want to have a nice and refreshing whiskey drink and not my normal Irish Whiskey on the rocks.

Hope you find this enjoyable. This is one you can add to your St. Patrick’s Day menu in March, and perfect it before it actually gets here.

Irish Apple-Tini

1 1/2 oz. White Cranberry Juice
